    Seen this before, it's an amazing rifle. And no powder needed, perfect for a long-term survival expedition.

    That's be a cool thing to have. I wonder if you can use it for hunting in PA? I'm very ignorant on Hunting Law.

    It's illegal to take game with an air rifle in Pa.

    Several years ago there was a Lewis and Clark exhibit at the Acadamy of Natural Sciences in Phila. The actual rifle was there on display. What I find odd is that the rifle was not being handled with gloves to help preserve it.
